Check the area around this school
37th of 229 primary schools in Nottinghamshire we can score, 286 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.8/10 against 4,305 of them, against 7.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 73.0 · 73 | 41% | 2.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.77 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.21 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
